Female Novel
Chapter 2454 Treacherous
“The cultivators of the mundane world see the Ethereal Realm as heaven. However, if you ask thehumans in the Ethereal Realm what they think of the place, they'll say it's hell. It's because thehumans here crave power even more. Everyone here's doing their best to become immortal, so intheir eyes, friends and families aren't as important. Some of them are willing to do anything toincrease their cultivation level. That is why the most fearsome thing in the Ethereal Realm is thehuman heart. All humans here are blinded by their lust for power. If not for the restriction of the lawsof nature, the mundane world is actually the ideal place for humans to live in.” Hammerhead sighed,too.
Jared had nothing to say in response to that. I suppose people will always think the grass is greeneron the other side.
Meanwhile, inside a short building within Rock Village, Emily handed the demon beast's corpse toClovis to be processed. Then, she wiped the hands of an old woman lying on the bed. The latter'seyes were covered by a piece of white cloth.
“I hunted a big demon beast today, Grandma. Ali said he'd sell the beast core and pelt at the citytomorrow to buy medicine for you. Your eyes will be fine,” informed Emily.novelbin
“Why did you go hunting on your own? You're not powerful enough. If anything happens to you, howwill I face your deceased parents?” Ira, the old woman, reprimanded. Her heart wrenched at thethought of how much danger Emily had been in.
“Don't worry, Grandma. I won't die that easily. Today, a good samaritan saved me and killed thedemon beast for me. He was so awesome. With just a flick of his finger, he executed the demonbeast in one hit! Those people seem quite powerful!”
Upon hearing that, Ira knitted her eyebrows slightly. “Where do they come from, Emily? Where arethey now?”
“I don't know where they're from, Grandma, but they were brought into the village by Ali.”
“Oh no!” Ira promptly sat up, startling Emily. “Bring me to them immediately, Emily. How can Ali beso reckless and allow them to enter our settlement?”
Emily was confounded by her grandmother's reaction. “There's no need to worry, Grandma. I don'tthink they look like bad people. They even escorted me home.”
“Silly girl. You don't understand how treacherous humans are! Bring me there at once!” urged Ira.
With no other choice, Emily helped her grandmother out of the building.
Just as they arrived at the door, they met Ali.
“Where did you bring my saviors to, Ali?” inquired Emily.
“How can you be so careless, Ali? Why did you bring outsiders into the village? What are you doingas the village chief?” Ira scolded with great dissatisfaction.
“I trapped the three of them in the stone house with the arcane arrays. They can't escape thebuilding,” assured Ali.
Upon hearing that, Emily pouted, upset. “They rescued me, Ali! How could you imprison them?”
“Emily, these people—”
“Stop talking and bring me to them!” Ira interrupted and urged Ali to bring her to the stone building.
When she arrived, she didn't head inside. Instead, she stood outside of the building and silently senta thread of aura into the structure.
